Ratings and reviews

I was excited about the app, and it influenced my Pixel purchase, but I wish the entries all flowed together like a physical journal, where I could scroll to continuously read my entries. Having to click each day to open it would be like having to remove a piece of tape covering each journal entry in a physical journal. I should also be able to indicate more than one mood in a day. And this should also be available on desktop to make typing long entries easier. Lots of potential.

there's no way to export anything. you have no control over where the pictures go. the map is totally inaccurate and it's not clickable It would be really nice if the design of this was to replace a handwritten journal but allow easy insertion of computer blinks and information and be able to take all of this and share it with someone. none of this stuff works. So while I give it high marks for the idea of using AI with a journal But even that is a stripped down Gemini and doesn't work often

In the beginning it was just a simple note taking app, but I am liking it now. I would strongly suggest a web version. Entering detailed notes and reflections on the phone is cumbersome and I prefer a keyboard for fast capture of my thoughts. Integrate with my photos and prompt me with how I felt during those occasions. Maybe use my location data (if location history is enabled) and ask me about my experience. If I am in a particular location, prompt me with actions. There is a lot you can do.
